in virginia and florida, obama 49, romney 44. they're beginning to get very depressed, the republicans, when they see these numbers. no republican has ever been elected without at least ohio. how worried should they be? >> if you ask any republican now if the election today was held, most republicans would say unfortunately it looks like president obama is leading. ohio and florida are in a close election, which is going to be must win for mitt romney. there are varying polls on virginia. virginia is looking strong for president obama but it's all over the map. president obama certainly has more paths to victory than mitt romney. he has to win florida and ohio and pick up nevada, colorado, iowa, new hampshire, wisconsin's in play. polls a snapshot of where we are now. you're right, it was before all of this tumult in the middle east began again. to the extent they represent a trend line tells us something. ohio is the only one of the three you mentioned that i think republicans are beginning to think is light blue and may be gone

barack obama and hillary clinton vying and vying. neither was going to make it to the delegate count at the convention, someone would have to drop out or the super delegates would have to swoop in. >> the big debate is whether a protracting debates helps someone like mitt romney who hasn't been the best of campaigners. does it toughen him up against a good campaigner in barack obama, or does the constant mudslinger kill the brand? >> i agree with amy, it's doing enormous harm. there's another distraction. this is time he could be raising money, focusing on president obama. instead, he's getting dragged into issues, these women's issues that he doesn't want to talk about. he wants to talk about jobs. he said this is over. it's inevitable, and that's why independents are going to love us. >> the women's issue is something that hurt santorum. and romney got the vote over santorum. >> the interesting thing about the strategy of the santorum campaign the to hammer the issues well. but you could see when he went too far on the college and
